Hi,

perhaps not of any actuality, but on updating (for last time) 
some linux computer with TL2105, I got the message (skip to last line)

$ tlmgr update --self
TeX Live 2015 is frozen forever and will no
longer be updated.  This happens in preparation for a new release.

If you're interested in helping to pretest the new release (when
pretests are available), please read http://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html.
Otherwise, just wait, and the new release will be ready in due time.

tlmgr: saving backups to /xxxxxxxx/texlive/2015/tlpkg/backups
tlmgr: no updates for tlmgr present.
tlmgr: no updates available


The last line made me think ``oh, perhaps after all I already did final update''.

But:
$ tlmgr update --all
TeX Live 2015 is frozen forever and will no
longer be updated.  This happens in preparation for a new release.

tlmgr: saving backups to /xxxxxx/texlive/2015/tlpkg/backups
[ 1/42, ??:??/??:??] update: amsmath [2281k] (39931 -> 40218) ... done
[ 2/42, 00:12/05:22] update: asapsym [170k] (40097 -> 40201) ... done
...

Isn't the "tlmgr: no updates available" of the first invocation misleading ?

Cheers,

Jean-François
